Birthdays, Anniversaries, and vacation days in the Jerse

What a busy week. Monday we loaded up the Beaver family plus the dog and headed for New Jersey. Nicolas has growing since April. He can sit up and is full of big smiles and lots of giggles. Ellie and Brooke are also getting taller, funny how my kids don't ever grow:) Tuesday morning we packed up all the kids(but Nic) and headed for the mountains of NJ and PA. We went to the Delaware Gap. It was a beautiful place. It was a great day the temps were in the 70's and no humidity. We explored an old farm village, hiked to a waterfall and then did a four mile up the Appalachian Trail to the highest peak in the park. Conlan busted his knee open on the way down, but he was tough and kept walking. Brooke and Ellie did a fabulous job hiking even though they kept telling us "they don't do this stuff". The kids were treated to swimming in the DE river for all their hard work. Wednesday we got back in the van and headed east to the Jersey Shore. We could of spent forever on the beach. It was another beautiful day. Wednesday was also a Big day for the BEAVER Family. Conlan turned 10 and Ray and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. John and Sarah also celebrated 10 years of marriage! We couldn't of spent the day at a better place! Wednesday night we had cake for Conlan. Louis and Ann were there but they both had to work so we didn't get to hang out too much with them. Louis and Ray did get to be manly and cut down a tree! We are looking forward to see them next month in Yellowstone with the rest of the Farine Family. The slide shows are of our adventures in NJ.
